How can we help?
If you are a landlord with a property in Wales and need to regain possession from a tenant or contract-holder, our specialist tenant eviction solicitors can guide you through the process.
Whether you are dealing with rent arrears, anti-social behaviour, breach of contract, or need possession for another reason, it is important to follow the correct procedure under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016.
The possession regime in Wales is different from England. Residential tenancies and licences generally became occupation contracts when the Renting Homes legislation commenced on 1 December 2022.
Our residential landlord solicitors advise landlords with properties throughout Wales and offer fixed-fee services for stages of the possession process.
Call us on 0161 696 6170 to discuss regaining possession of your property.

The appropriate route to possession will depend upon the type of occupation contract and why you are seeking possession.
Possession may be sought in circumstances including:
Different notices and requirements apply depending upon the basis on which possession is sought, so landlords should establish the correct procedure before serving notice.
The precise procedure will depend upon your circumstances, but the possession process may involve:
Our solicitors can manage the process on your behalf and advise on the appropriate notice and procedure.
A Section 173 landlord's notice can be used in qualifying circumstances where a landlord seeks possession of a periodic standard occupation contract without relying upon fault by the contract-holder.
There are a number of requirements which must be satisfied for a Section 173 notice to be valid. Rent Smart Wales confirms that the notice period must be at least six months and identifies Form RHW16 as the prescribed form in applicable cases.
Landlords should therefore ensure that the relevant requirements have been satisfied before serving notice.
Our specialist landlord solicitors can assist with:
We can review your occupation contract and supporting documentation before advising on the appropriate route to possession.
We offer fixed-fee packages for stages of the tenant eviction process, providing clarity over the legal costs involved.
To advise you, we may ask for documents including your occupation contract and written statement, notices already served, a rent statement where relevant, and other documentation relating to the property and contract.
If you need to evict a tenant or contract-holder from a property in Wales, our specialist residential landlord solicitors can advise on the appropriate route and handle the possession process on your behalf.
